Default Giverny gardens in full bloom


The Monet Gardens

Giverny is west of Paris, about two hours door-to-door by car.

We went out there yesterday, taking our niece there. We had not
been there in about 15 years. The A13 autoroute takes you there
rapidly, one exits just beyond the first autoroute pay stop, taking
the N15 along the Seine up to Vernon, crossing over the river and coming
back a few km.

The town itself has gentrified over the years, a little too perfect now.
But the Monet gardens are in full and beautiful bloom and alone worth the
trip out there.

A fair number of Americans around but lots of French school kids.

There are a number of web sites describing the complex at Giverny

http://giverny.org/ for one, gives a great deal of information.

So now is the time to go. Our previous visit at another time of
year did not have the flowers the gardens have now.

I have been there as late as the last week of September and found them
in full bloom...
